To be fair I wouldn't even sleeve it. Especially given the trouble my engine has had in previous hands.

The pics below were from my 2 Door GC8 which made 450KW. It was just pinned with standard bores. The block is still going strong some 5 years later. It's had one refresh in that time as It's done about 50K since I originally had it pinned.
I would recommend the ARP 625 studs as a minimum
Yeah 625s are as a minimum for the studs, what else is there? (I know about the 14mm but that needs more work to fit them right? Definitely staying away from the 2000s)

Will just have it pinned, didn't realise you could do this. What are they called, are these dowel pins?
